Assets Server action plug-ins setting - keyBindings – Help Center

The keyBindings setting is one of the settings of an Action plug-in that can be configured in its configuration file. For more information, see Assets Server Action plug-ins - configuration settings.

Required No

Description

Platform specific keyboard bindings, for Windows and macOS.

Note: If you assign key bindings to your plug-in, you need to specify an applicationMenu menuAssignment.

Key bindings are not required. When you do assign key bindings, make sure that two keyBinding elements are added, one with os="MacOSX" and the other with os="Windows".

Tip: Check if the key binding is not already used by the Web browser, Assets, or an external Action plug-in, else it will trigger both actions assigned to the same key.

Basic setting

<action>
    <keyBindings>
        <keyBinding os="xxxx" key="x" modifiers="xxx"/>
        ...
    <keyBindings>
</action>
